How is Child support modified in Rhode Island divorce and family law cases?
Child support in Rhode Island is not automatically modified when there is a change in circumstances. The parent must file a motion to modify child support. When a motion for modification of child support is filed a court date will be set by the clerk of the Rhode Island Family Court. In order to modify child support there must be a substantial change in circumstances. Under RI Law, a new child support amount does not run retroactive to when the circumstances actually changed! The new child support order should run retroactive to the date of the filing of the motion. Article by Attorney David Slepkow (401-437-1100)

1. An experienced traveler, you purchase a train ticket from Fairbanks, Alaska to Anchorage. In terms of taking trains and purchasing tickets, you have both “been there” and “done that.” As you board the train for the multi hour ride which includes a meal you discover that you and your travel companion are sitting on a bench made for one hunched over a narrow table and across from another traveler and her companion. Cramped quarters were not what you were expecting. About quarter way into the journey, you learn that the track diverts since repairs are underway due to a train that crashed last week. You were not told of this when you purchased the ticket. Now the journey will proceed to another stop where you will switch from train to bus for the remainder of the trip. The trip will now take an additional 8 hours. Most of us, lawyers that we are, would likely seek some remuneration for the inconvenience of not being told a significant detail about the benefit we were getting by purchasing the train ticket. (Some would ask even if they liked traveling by bus in scenic Alaska anyway!) You surely did not get what you bargained for.

There is no magic formula or process by which someone can predict with certainty the amount of money that a personal injury case may be worth. If there were, then society wouldn’t have a need for personal injury lawyers. One could simply apply the “formula” to come up with the value of a case. And if this happened there would be no need for a trial. Yet we know that trials are necessary when the two sides cannot agree on the value of a case.

The procedures in filing a lawsuit involve very intricate matters that should be addressed. Generally, it may take a lot of time and effort just to ensure that all the necessary tasks are being done in order to have a positive result.
In any court trial, there is a minimum of two parties involved, and it is expected that the opposing parties would do their own tactics to outwit and destroy the credibility of their adversary and subsequently win their legal battle. With such idea, we may say that a court case is merely a contest wherein the more clever party has the stronger chances of winning and the imprudent should have to accept defeat.
